"There's a reason why these cousins can't wait to get back to the stone house their grandparents built. Lots of them in fact. It's a house, yes, but one that's much more than a place to sleep - it's alive with a glow of birthday parades, tractor rides at dawn, an amazing bunkhouse, and so much more. Grandma and Grandpa's MAGNIFICENT Stone House is about the simple, repeatable, wonderfully ordinary rituals of a real life family that can become any family's cherished story over time."

K. A. Welsh, Storyteller and Family Archivist

“These Norman Rockwell-esque rhyming stories recapture fond memories of simpler times when having fun and enjoying family was easily achievable without smartphones and laptops! The illustrations set a warm tone to a time that doesn’t have to be considered ‘by-gone’. Prayerfully these stories will inspire and challenge grandparents of today to interact with their grandchildren as the authors’ parents did with their grandchildren.”

Carolyn C. Snelling, CEO/Founder, Spare Square, Best-selling Author, Traveling with Jesus

“Grandma and Grandpa’s MAGNIFICENT Stone House is a wonderful story of the love two grandparents have for each other and their children and their grandchildren! I have been to this MAGNIFICENT stone house many times! The love of God and family permeate the structure! Some of my steps to faith in Christ began at the MAGNIFICENT stone house!”
